What trouble could Target get into? They are the second largest retailer behind Wal-Mart and dictate what they want to these companies.
What are the companies going to do refuse to ship the product to them?
Target would just fill the space with another game or one from another system without thinking twice about it.
The days of companies like Nintendo strong arming retailers are long gone and dead.[/quote]
You can do pretty much whatever you want but i think ea would be able to push around any company.
The system is pretty much handled like movie ratings. If you let kids into r rated movies the movie companies won't send you any more movies. Well at least the company that made the movie wouldn't[/quote]
Maybe with companies like Gamestop, EB, Sears, etc.., But their is no way I can see EA doing that with a Wal-Mart or a Target. Those companies are just to large and dominant for someone like EA to come and try to lay down the law.
If they tried to I could easily see them dumping all EA games and telling them to shove it, and open those empty spots up for other games.
I would bet that these two retailers make up atleast 50% of a game companies sales. So I don't see any game company doing anything to either of those two giants.
